CHICAGO - William Balfour (the only person charged in the murders of Jennifer Hudson family members) appeared in court today for a status hearing before Judge Charles P. Burns. The defense attorneys stated that they had received all discovery from the prosecution however, they were still in the midst of conducting their own investigation and also need time to file “papers” in case their client is found guilty. The judge informed the defense (public defenders) that the capital punishment issue is off the table now and that the case is 2 years old.
The defense stated that they needed an additional 1 to 2 month continuance to further their investigation. A continuance was granted “by agreement” to less than a month from today.
